Systems are disclosed that relate to modular furniture capable of providing conventional desk functions as well as integrated electronic components which house, store, and operate electronic devices, such as computers and associated devices. Furniture components of a traditional office are adapted to house a plurality of electronic components of a traditional computer system. Connectors, expansion slots, networking capabilities, and other storage units are provided within the furniture components enabling several electronic devices to be installed within the furniture components and communicate with each other, integrating a fully functional computer system into a classroom or office desk. The disclosed modular furniture systems provide multiple resources and functions in a small footprint and are useable in a variety of school, personal and work settings.

A system, device and method for determining the position of objects comprising one or more furniture items and/or building structures having one or more sensors and a controller coupled to the sensors. The sensors detect when one or more objects having at least one sensor tag are positioned proximate one of the sensors and transmit a signal to the controller including an identifier of the object and the sensor that detected the objects. As a result, the controller is able to track the position of the objects in relation to the furniture and/or building structures preventing the items from being lost and increasing efficiency when looking for misplaced objects.

A desk apparatus is provided with a pair of leg members, each having two main leg member parts that are installed on a floor surface and extend in a vertical direction and that are connected to each other by means of a crosspiece portion at upper portions of the main leg member parts, and a pair of inner connecting rods and a pair of outer connecting rods that extend along a width direction and connect the upper portions of the pair of leg members. The inner connecting rods are connected together by bridge members so as to constitute connecting units. The connecting units are attachable to and detachable from a top plate support, and a first top plate unit is attachable to and detachable from the top plate support. This allows for the provision of a desk apparatus in which the first top plate unit and the connecting units are replaceable with different top plate units and different connecting units, and the aspects of the desk apparatus can be changed in accordance with a user's demands by keeping replacement of members to a necessary minimum.

A cable management system comprising at least a first control cable with a respective cable connector that is configured to operably link with a video/audio source device, a control button configured to generate a control signal when pressed thereby causing transfer of control of the one or more pieces of video/audio presentation equipment from a video/audio source device of a previous user upon selection of the button while the previous user is controlling the pieces of video/audio presentation equipment to a video/audio source device of the user that pressed the control button and initiating control of the pieces of video/audio presentation equipment upon selection of the button while no user is controlling the one or more pieces of video/audio presentation equipment and an illuminated indicator configured to illuminate in a manner indicative of a control state of the video/audio presentation equipment.

A presentation and display system comprising a pedestal mounted on a plinth and a display screen or monitor carried by the pedestal, in which the individual components of the system are secured together by manually operable releasable fasteners.
